A brief explanation of the basics
of the grinder and its function
You can use the grinder to grind both espresso beans
and coffee beans with different grinding degrees (fine –
coarse) [see „Adjusting the grinding degree“]. Use the adjusting
wheel on the side (5) to set the grinding degree.
You can either insert a portafilter (24)*or a
container(25)** as a collecting receptacle to collect the
ground material*** from the grinder, depending on how
you wish to prepare the espresso or coffee [see „Selecting the
collecting receptacle (portafilter vs. container)“].
You can use the grinder either in Recipe mode or in
Manual Grinding mode.
The quantity of ground coffee dispensed per shot, i.e.
the dosage quantity, is determined by the grinding time.
You can define up to four different recipes (grinding times)
for this purpose [see „Defining recipes“]. The grinding process
ends automatically after the specified grinding time has
been reached. Use the controller (Jogdial(26) to select the
desired recipe.
You manually control the grinding time by pressing the
START/STOP button (28) in the Manual Grinding mode.
The maximum grinding time is 90 seconds.
* For the preparation of espresso with a portafilter machine.
** For the preparation of coffee or espresso without a portafilter machine.
